I'm bored as hell, and saw this thread at FF:

1. Billy Beane (Duh :heart: )
2. Theo Epstein and the Red Sox FO
3. Mark Shapiro
4. Kevin Towers
5. Walt Jocketty

Honorable mention: Terry Ryan. No longer a GM, but he did a helluva a job with them. Comparable to Beane.

Up-and-coming: Neal Huntington. Comes from that great Indians FO and is a very smart baseball dude.

Oh, yeah, in order to get some responses:

Because he has done so much with so little.

See: Oakland Athletics rank in winning % from 1999*-2007 compared to their rank in payroll.

There is no sort of confusion to be had here. It's clear who the best GM in baseball is (of course, that's an opinion, but everyone can agree he's been a top 3 GM in baseball ever since he took charge of the A's, even the people that hate the movement that he's brought to baseball).

* He got there in '97, but '97 and '98 were transition years and it wasn't really Billy's team.
